Before I start, I made this picture in photoshop. I made my skin purple to make the bikini pop. The only thing in the picture that you can buy (as it is) is the bikini, the rest is photoshop magic. This new bikini from Zaara is materials viewer ready so the sequins reflect light like real sequins do. They also appear raised and not flat- from texture alone and not adding a bunch of faces in a 3D program.
I spent a lot of time, all day really, playing with materials and advanced lighting. I think its pretty impossible to really capture what happens when a materials enabled texture is in the game. It is best seen with moving lights because you can see them reflect along the surface of the material. It is hard to fully capture that in a still photograph. My background texture is also a materials ready texture and without advanced lighting turned on it just looks like a plain flat white prim. You can see more of all of that (including how the skin, eyes, and hair really look) in this video that I made.
